Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd will take the mound on Friday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Boyd has been one of Detroit's best starters this season, pitching to a 3.89 ERA, a 4.10 FIP, 67 strikeouts, and 23 walks in 78.2 innings spanning 15 starts. However, in two starts since returning from the injured list, Boyd has surrendered nine hits, seven earned runs, four home runs, and three walks in eight innings. He also struck out 11 in that span, but the recent struggles make it hard ...

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd made his return to the mound in Sunday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. He went on to pitch four innings and allow four hits, two walks and two earned runs while striking out five. He was tagged with the loss, dropping his record to 3-7 on the year. The veteran battled through some long at-bats that made his pitch count go up quickly, preventing him from going deeper into the game. Boyd was sidelined for over two months due to elbow discomfort. ...

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd (elbow) is "penciled in" to start Sunday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays, according to Tigers manager A.J. Hinch. Boyd has been sidelined since mid-June due to elbow discomfort. He'll be welcomed back against one of the league's top offenses in the Blue Jays, making him a risky start for any fantasy format. Boyd got off to a strong start to the 2021 season. He posted a 2.27 ERA over six starts in April, but then went on to struggle to the tune ...

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd (arm, neck) threw two scoreless innings in his first rehab start since being placed on the injured list back on June 15. Boyd was having a bounce-back year after a horrendous 2020, posting a 3.44 ERA, 18.8 K%, 6.4 BB%, and six home runs in 70.2 innings. There is still no word on when Boyd will be back, but it's a step in the right direction. It's okay to stash Boyd on the IL if there's room, but there's no harm in dropping him for a more exciting ...

Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that left-hander Matthew Boyd (arm, neck) will throw off a mound for the first time this weekend. Boyd had previously been throwing on flat ground and doing long toss. He went on the injured list in mid-June with muscle discomfort in his left arm and has also dealt with neck issues this year, so Boyd may not be an option for the Tigers rotation or fantasy managers until possibly September. The 30-year-old southpaw had a respectable 3.44 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and ...

Detroit Tigers right-hander Michael Fulmer (neck) is "doing great" after starting rehab activity early in July, according to manager A.J. Hinch. He's been out since June 27 with a right cervical spine strain. Fulmer must complete a bullpen session this weekend before he's allowed to progress to live batting practice. He recently played long toss at 200 feet without restrictions. Fulmer has made just four starts this year in 25 appearances and has a 3.62 ERA, six walks and 35 K's in 27 1/3 ...

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd (arm) is unlikely going to return to the roster before August. He has resumed his throwing program, but Detroit has not given a timetable for his return. Boyd has been sidelined since mid-June due to left arm discomfort. This is a shame considering he was pitching well before the injury. Fantasy managers can continue to stash him if you have an IR spot available. Otherwise, Boyd probably isn't worth holding because it's unlikely he pitches deep into ...

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd (forearm) is dealing with muscular tendonitis, Cody Stavenhagen reported on Friday. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Boyd has seen "a number of doctors" and that structural damage has been ruled out. A timetable hasn't been set for Boyd's return, but it appears highly unlikely he would be back before the All-Star break. The 30-year-old southpaw is having a bounce-back season with a 3.44 ERA, but his lack of strikeouts (56 in 70 2/3 innings) limits his ...

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd (forearm) will visit Dr. Neal ElAttrache on either Thursday or Friday, according to Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic. Stavenhagen adds that there is no update on Boyd's injury, but it's never a good sign when a pitcher is seen by Dr. ElAttrache. Boyd is 3-6 this year with a 3.44 ERA and an 18.9 percent strikeout rate over 70 2/3 innings of work. Nothing is set in stone yet, but managers should start preparing for the possibility that Boyd could be ...

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd (arm) and relief pitcher Alex Lange (shoulder) were placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday after exiting Monday night's game early, according to Jason Beck of MLB.com. Boyd exited his start on Monday night against the Royals in the third inning and now lands on the injured list with left arm discomfort. Later on in the game, Lange exited with right shoulder discomfort after facing four batters. Boyd's placement on the injured list is the bigger ...
